Chapter 320: I Should Have Known You'd Be Here! (1)

—

Omni-Neji-1 who was left on Uruk to do his kingly-duty finally got a break.

From Gil's memories, he knew breaks weren't a thing in his recent life, but thanks to Neji using shadow-clones to do his jobs, clones who he didn't control himself, it didn't take him long to finish things.

The peasants, merchants, and even Siduri were surprised at the King's display of this new power; while the others just took it at face value soon, Siduri kept getting suspicious at his display of powers he had never had before. So when she finally got time, free too for once, she looked at him with a frown.

"Are you really my King?" asked Siduri, putting her stone tablet down as she looked at him with narrowed eyes. That made Neji's expression turn into a deep contemplative look.

"Actually, yes, I am still me." Neji said finally.

In the Naruto World, Reality was rewritten by Lady Luck to replace Neji Hyuga's existence and history with his. However, in this world, though reality was indeed changed, Gil's past and history wasn't rewritten to match the current Neji's personality.

In a way, that meant reality wasn't properly changed and so this King wasn't the King from yesterday. However, concurrently, Gilgamesh's history and past matched a lot with how Neji was in his 1st life; a lot of the things that Gil did was what he would have done in Gil's shoes.

Neji gave it a thought and soon realized the point as to why Gil's history wasn't influenced by his personality.

Because Gilgamesh was a reflection of himself, in more than one way. Memories were becoming more detailed the more time Neji spent here, so it's not as if he lacked the proper memories either, and those memories seemed to match with his 1st life's personality a lot. So, after a deep thought, Neji would say he was more of a Gilgamesh than he was a Hyuga.

This King may not be the King from yesterday, but he was still the same King in the end.

"...Assume it this way, Siduri. King Gilgamesh used the Holy Grail to summon a divine spirit inside him, a Divine Spirit so similar to him that it may be considered himself. Then, they both merged to form what you see in front of you." Neji explained, spreading his arms as Siduri came flying on his grasp due to telekinesis. "To form a lot... better King? Am I a better King?"

"...I don't know yet." Siduri sighed, looking barely convinced. She told herself that, as it was magical stuff, it may be he was telling the truth. "Anyway, please let me go. I have other work to do."

"No? I am done with today's work; you should be too." Neji twisted her body and made her sit on his right leg. "Hasn't it been a while since you entertained me? I think you have time to do that today."

"...." Siduri blushed a little under her see-through niqab. "I have other things to do."

"Alright." Neji held back a sigh and released her, watching her lower her head once and run away.

She hadn't truly accepted his words, it seemed. Sadly, it meant Neji didn't have anyone to share the feeling of blowing off some steam.

The Gamer System wasn't sealed anymore.

Neji unlocked all of its seals over the years that he spent in the My Hero Academia world. Doing so brought many perks one by one, of course, but when the final sealing was undone, it unlocked more than one miscellaneous thing along with the [Class] perk.

One of those many miscellaneous things was the simple perk that The Gamer System could translate all languages to Neji's preference, that being English at this moment. So it didn't bother Neji in the slightest to understand these Hebrew-speaking people.
